The cutting source is a HT 2000 HYPERTHERM
I have been told by hypertherm there strong HF
could destroy standard pc computer

The HF interference generated by a plasma torch is a concern. Proper grounding, filtering, cable shielding, and cable separation is especially important when wiring up a CNC plasma. I managed to successfully do it with much less than ideal components, but I wouldn't send that system out the door for a customer, it was OK for my in-house use.
Wired properly, my opinion is that a standard PC will be just fine. Optical isolation is your friend. Reusing the original control cabinet, filtering, and cabling might be a great idea. Take special note of how it was originally protected and grounded.
